9 Fandom Peeps To Get To Know Better

I was tagged by @emilykaldwen, @godswood-girl, & @rainwingmarvel7 , lmao thanks guys

3 Ships You Like: Starkpoole, Rhaenicent, & Nedbert (fellas, is it gay to call your bestie "muscled like a maiden's fantasy" when you're both men?)

First Ship Ever: Bro, I literally have no idea. I never did a lot of shipping when I was younger (call that being aroace "they're just besties" pilled). Maybe NaruHina? I think that might be the first thing I got really into outside of "this is definitely obvious endgame" stuff

Last Song You Heard: Inkpot Gods by The Amazing Devil

Favorite Childhood Book: Big Chronicles of Narnia kid, huge. I still reread the books sometimes. My favorites were always The Magician's Nephew, The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe, & The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader

Currently Reading: Fire & Blood by GRRM, & Throne Of Glass by SJM (one of these is definitely better than the other, but I am making fun of both. F&B isn't bad, but it is comical how hard it tries to make One-gon look like a Gigachad)

Currently Watching: 1670, Inuyasha, Sanrio Boys, & AOT

Currently Consuming: Water

Currently Craving: the Robert Eggers Nosferatu remake to come out already

Idk who to tag, so if you see this & want to do it, consider yourself tagged

#tag game #(also secondary shoutout to stavos. that too is yaoi)

MODERN AU STARKPOOLE/JEYNSA HEADCANONS:

Sansa writes fanfics & Jeyne makes fanarts. They are the only ones who know each other internet pseudonym

Sansa is a huge shipper meanwhile Jeyne has just like five OTPs

They have been friends since they were babies and trust each other with their lives-

They tell each other everything: fears, goals, crushs-

Sansa studies history and Jeyne studies periodism

In high school, they helped each other with the subjects

They have sleepovers every weekend and have "rituals"

Sansa loves musicals and theatre

Jeyne prefers movies over series and her favorite genres are romance and fantasy

I'm manifesting the "Sansa & Jeyne are both huge nerds"

When Jeyne discovered her crush, she went to Theon bc "you are dating a Stark who was your bff, how do you do it?!" "I'm still not sure!!"

Sansa didn't notice Jeyne's crush or her own until she was talking with Cat about how pretty Jeyne was- "Yes, mom, Jeyne is beautiful but I don't like her in that way- ...do I? I do! But she doesn't- does she? Mom!"

Mutual pining! Because they are scared of ruining their friendship

Sansa discovers Jeyne has a crush bc Robb knows and want to help- Sansa thinks is someone else-

She wants to be supportive! Bc she loves Jeyne! And wants her happy even withour her!- Jeyne thinks Sansa doesn't like her that way bc that

Jeyne admites her crush and tells Sansa that she's sorry bc she can't move away

Sansa kisses her and tells Jeyne about hers

They go to prom together!

They go to university together and live with Lady.

When they are old, they own a cafe-book shop together

ok ok, re: the genderbent starklings au. a) how does the red wedding happen? b) Is Symeon king in the north or just allied with Stannis? c) How far do you think the relationship between Jonelle anc Catelyn changes in this au? d) what happens to Jonelle when/after winterfell falls? (both times)

hi!!! Answers below bc I tend to ramble sorry since this AU is kind of half-formed to me!!! (also these are out of order a bit)

General things about this envisioning is that time passes a bit slower on the Westerosi side here-- it's not like a few months of breakneck battles and events like in the book, but more akin to how in Fire and Blood, in how takes two years for the Northern Army to march down, etc. Also the Doylist explanation is that I can't see a 12 year old Symeon leading an army (at least not successfully), plus I feel like Symeon would be inclined to negotiate before bringing out the swords first. I would estimate that by the time the Riverlands are being pillaged by the Mountain, Symeon would be newly 13. Almost 15 once the Wot5K begins in earnest.

b) In this envisioning, there's not a King in the North, as Symeon is allies with Stannis and looking to seat him on the Iron Throne. Since Symeon served in the Vale as a squire, he might find it easier to muster forces from there as well (vs in canon). Also this is silly but Courtesy the Gyrfalcon is absolutely canonical to Symeon and so I think Stannis, ruminating on his own Proudwing, might be closer to feeling sympathetic about Symeon and his cause.

a) With Stannis having the Stormlanders, Riverlanders, Valemen, and Northmen behind him, I do think that it's likely a much likelier chance they pose a far greater threat to the Lannisters, who might try to take a more underhanded way out. Betrayal at a peace parley sounds like a thing they might do. Maybe it involves an exchange of Jaime for Barra? Symeon and Artos are likely both on the table as potential bridegrooms, and since I'm Starkpoole trash I do like the concept of Symeon and Jeyne being childhood sweethearts who marry during the wartime, which pisses off the Freys, and possibly other Northern Houses for him to choose a steward's daughter over their girls? That coupled with the fact that Symeon was squired in the South will make him somewhat controversial while they’re currently at war with a southron faction I think. The power of Jeynes I swear to the gods. At this point I don't think Symeon is as disabused of his noble and chivalric notions as Sansa is (in part due to Sansa having her idealism literally beaten out of her), and having a kind of semi-elopement for love seems to be something he might do as a result. Narratively this mirrors Duncan and Jenny's story, and the Red Wedding as conclusion to that I think works as well, the prince/lord who marries a lower-born girl for love, spurning the noble family he promised to marry into, causing strife and death. Symeon might still have Edmure marry Roslin, and have this wedding held in concurrence with peace talks/hostage exchanges with the Lannisters, but they're betrayed by a combination of their own men, and the Lannister forces there at the parley as well. RIP to the Starks. (Oh also in the realm of marriages, I do imagine that the Northern Houses might feel slightly miffed over Barra also having been engaged south too, over marrying into their Houses, since the Starks had married South the previous generation too). As for the aftermath, I kind of feel like Baelish's general obsession over Catelyn (and subsequently Sansa) might be transferred instead onto Barra in this AU (which still, yuck), and he might "run into" Symeon and Barra when they escaped to the Vale and offer himself as their "saviour". I like the idea of Symeon simply claiming himself to be "Alyn Stone" cause it's a nifty lil name, but Barra likely as not will become this AU's "Alayne" tbh.

c) I think Catelyn might be stiff, but not really hateful since Jonelle won't pose a direct threat to her sons' inheritances. I feel like the moment that she really truly warms up a bit (from earlier hostility) is between Symeon and Artos's births, Symeon because now she has a son, Jonelle is no longer a legit kind of threat to her place as Winterfell's Lady, and Artos because it's the added security of a "spare". I don't ever think they'll be close; the way Eddard introduced Jon/elle into the family made this kind of impossible in my eyes, but their relationship is more acquaintances with hierarchy, rather than being so strained as in canon. I don't think they'll have bad blood, I just don't see them as being close. Especially since if Jonelle marries a minor bannerman or something, her children might still prove threats, and in this AU there's not even a Night's Watch she could join in order to allay that kind of anxiety as the septas and silent sisters seem to be Faith-related organizations.

d) @khazzman introduced me to the idea of a Theon/Jonelle pairing so suffice it to say I'm a bit obsessed. It would provide a mirror canonverse Robb and Jeyne W. "I took her castle and she took my heart" (esp as I had Jonelle being named Jeyne at first as well), but also is a foil to Euron and Falia Flowers. It also has a few bits of the Jon/Ygritte kind of hostagetime romance element to it as well. I want Jonelle to play an active role in facilitating Branda and Raya’s escape here, but I think the knowledge that Theon killed two innocent children in their place would be no less horrifying to her (to anyone, really). It’s a few weeks that Theon holds Winterfell, but I think it’s a few weeks of a lot of angst. At first I wanted Jonelle to inadvertently make things worse for herself and everyone else (the way Jon kinda was at several points in the Night’s Watch), in opening the gates for the Boltons in the false belief they’re here to reclaim Winterfell for the Starks (but then I remembered that they were fighting Ser Rodrik’s men outside so that doesn’t work. Jonelle is spared from this maximum guilt overload for now). I don’t think Jonelle will follow Jeyne Poole’s fate. Well, idk she might? But I think marriage to her is far more tenuous for the Boltons to use than claiming Jeyne was Arya, since she’s a known bastard, and also several Starks are all known to be still living (albeit MIA and wanted dead). She’ll likely be a hostage at the Dreadfor, or perhaps she and Theon can escape, to the Wall or to Stannis. A girl in and greyjoy on a dying horse.

Sansa Stark

How I feel about this character: She's my favourite character, not only from asoiaf/got, but the love I have for her is only as big as the love I have for Marcy Wu (Amphibia) She's my precious angel and I need her to be happy and safe- Will die/kill for her

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Jeyne Poole! Sansaery is cute too and Elia Sand can bring an interesting dynamic- (From the universe)

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Platonic! Jeyne Poole and Beth Cassell, Shae (She deserves so much better) and always down for Arya and Sansa chilling and living their best lives (Stark sisters>>>) Lady deserved so much better. I wish we could have seen more of her relationship with Cat, bc she's always looking at her and Cat just love her (all her children, but you get it) so much she did everything for them. Mya and Randa are her gay moms (I'll just ignore canon)- Show! Theon and Show!Sansa are very important to me too

My unpopular opinion about this character: She isn't a villain (you haven't understood anything if that's what you think) and she was never annoying or a brat (My parents wish I was half-kind and obedient as her when I was younger). I loved her in her first chapter- I've never found Sansa (book or show) ambitious? Don't get me wrong, I think ambition is a good thing, I love ambitious character but Sansa's goal was 1) Live her song (can't blame her, she was 11 yo, was going to marry the prince) 2) Keep her family and the land her brother(s) and mother died for free. Wanting to be queen has never been about the power- And the power has always been about being safe, not a out being over others

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Uh, a break? Happinnes? In my perfect world Lady lives- Anyway, please, let her reunite with Jeyne and her siblings (And if she gets a crown with Jeyne as her "favourite" aka love of her life better!)

my OTP: Starkpoole!

my cross over ship:... Give some time and I'll explain why Marcy and Sansa would be a great ship (they are my faves, they deserve happiness, historic-literature nerds... Betrayed by parental figures who are monarchs)

a headcanon fact: She used to write her own novels and songs and shared them with Jeyne and Beth- When she's older she returns to writing, as a remind to have hope and faith. The relationship between the North, The Riverlands and the Vale growns under her reign- Sharing clothes, culture and gastronomy- Basically a new era starts with the independe of the queendoms- One of arts and peace and hope. Just like Ned did, she made statues for Robb and her mother (even if their bones never return). She and Arianne, princess ruler of Dorne, start a friendship and help each other lands.
